[Depending on the laws of your state, you may have to get a friend to pick them up for you and then do a bill of sale once you leave the store (that's the policy at my LGS, they'll advise you on how to legally get around the law as long as you don't do it inside their store). ]

That is the very definition of a "strawman purchase", is illegal, and prosecutable by BATFE.

BATFE uses that very method to catch out FFL's who "cheat" thusly.

The last prosecution, in my local area, lost his FFL forever, can have NO firearms in his sporting goods/engraving shop, and was assessed a $50,000 fine, which got plea bargained down to $10K.
Every firearm that was in his store got removed by BATFE, and was later placed on consignment sale at another local FFL.

If you're gonna play, you'll eventually pay.
